Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 618 of the laws of 1998, amending the general municipal law and the education law relating to disposal of surplus computer equipment by political subdivisions, in relation to the effectiveness thereof; and to repeal subdivision 10 of section 318 of the education law relating to reporting on the donations of surplus computers
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this bill is to provide a three year extender for computer donation provisions.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill extends for three years until July 1, 2016 chapter 618 of the laws of 1998 about donation of computer equipment.
Justification
The enactment of chapter 618 of the laws of 1998 and the extension granted in 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2010 enabled political subdivisions to donate surplus computer equipment through SED's C.R.E.A.T.E.

This bill will extend this law and allow local governments to continue to dispose of surplus computer equipment in a fair and equitable manner.
